JULY'S FEATURED RECIPE

Mississippi Sweet Potato Pecan Pie

I guarantee that if you are not originally from the South, you will think you are if you try this recipe. You will end up with a Southern drawl, talk and walk slower and have a tendency to say things like "Can you carry me to the store?" Beyond that, you will have irresistable urges for catfish and sweet tea, and consider spaghetti a side dish for fried chicken. Don't even get me started on my favorites, grits and greens. And who knows, maybe a little squirrel gravy on the side. Don't say you were not warned.

 

1 cup cooked, mashed sweet potatoes
3 eggs
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup corn syrup
1 T vanilla
1 cup pecan halves

The pictured apron and potholders can be purchased through the Mileston Cooperative on our web site.

 
Combine sweet potatoes, eggs, sugar, corn syrup and vanilla. Mix ingredients well. Stir in peacn halves and pour into your favorite pie shell. Top with pecans if desired. Bake in preheated oven at 350 for 55-60 minutes or until top is golden brown.
